Me the best? Aww, thank you, but I feel like I cheated with my non self-made costume =/. I need to modify it and have it altered in a few places, maybe add better trappings... then I'll feel better about it! I -especially- need a good pair of gloves. Hopefully I can find some white cloth ones that fit the bill (and my hand) and then I can just add the circle with a t-shirt iron on thing. Those gloves were -incredibly- small.
And as for faces, oi, I -never- take good pictures. I swear I always look silly in them, or angry. Or unhappy, in the case of con pictures. I have an excuse this year though! 3 hours of sleep per night on average and 7:30(ish) am - 2 am every day working as Yojimbo. Whee.
On the note of matches, you know some tricks? I was considering looking into matches effects.... heh. Not while a Yojimbo, though >_>. I'm hoping to attend Sakuracon this year, hopefully I'll find the time and money to spiff up my costume a bit prior to that. It'll be nice to be able to actually run around, hang out with people, make (more) new friends, and enjoy the panels and events!
